Anytime man, ive been through it all, as i got older tho i found if im talking to someone normally somewhat ill let them know i have a speech impediment and it kinda helps keep it away at times cause im not worried about them finding out ect, but what works for me could be different for you. Words with H end up in a block, words with T, D, S ill stutter badly so i started reading around 14 and picked up a bigger vocabulary so i can replace the words that trigger the stutter. It helps although sometimes things come out more direct than id like them too and sometimes it gets teosted and ppl think i mean something else lol its been a struggle but its possible to gain control, if you need anymore info feel free to reach out. Also if you havnt joined chior, id recommend it. I did chior for 8 years back in school when i found out i didnt stitter, and found out too that i have a beautiful voice. Compliments, lead roles, ppl KNOWING your good. It all strokes the ego which helps with the speech and how you carry yourself in conversations. Sorry if its alot haha
